Reading Images Group 1

Reading Images Group 1
It is difficult to summarize a relationship that all the images in the group share. The relationships appear to more web-like, with some images linked to others through intermediate images. To start, images 1, 5, and 6 are all signs. Their purpose is communication. Their appearance is intended to be universal, so they communicate the same desired meaning wherever they are placed. On the other hand, image 2 is less universal, since the general population does not know Latin (at least that's what I think the language is). The signs that are often placed on doors and around buildings relate to image 4, the footprints in the sand. We are a highly mobile people, always busy and on the go, and we need simple images to guide us. That's why the stop sign is so effective. It's not full of complex pictures and directions. If we had to read signs like image 2, we wouldn't get very far in our daily lives. A fingerprint (image 3) can also be interpreted as a sign or indicator. Each ridge and loop holds some significance, and the combination of the 34 grooves results in the truly unique finger print of one individual.
